Who Then Can Be Saved? A Discussion Of Views Within The Christian Tradition Concerning The Salvation Of The Non-Christian, Logan A. Davis

Honors Theses

This thesis argues that, contrary to popular conception, the Christian Tradition is not strictly exclusivist in its understanding of salvation or in its assessment of the fate of the non-Christian but rather displays a rich diversity of views. Both the Christian Tradition and the Christian scriptures are characterized by a certain ambiguity on this issue; although a definitive answer may exist, it is not easily identifiable. Given this ambiguity, the study presents a representative spectrum of theological positions within the Christian Tradition and analyzes their respective treatments of the salvation of the non-Christian. In doing so, it seeks to provide …

Minimax Lower Bounds For Uniform Estimation Of Covariate-Dependent Copula Parameters, Mathias Muia

Probability & Statistics Seminar

In this talk, we analyze uniform estimation of covariate-dependent copula parameters using local likelihood methods. Building on our recent preprint establishing uniform stochastic equicontinuity and convergence rates, we derive minimax lower bounds over Holder classes of calibration functions. Under mild regularity conditions on the copula family and the covariate design, we show that the minimax sup-norm risk over a compact covariate region is bounded below by the classical nonparametric rate for smooth functions on an s-dimensional domain. The proof combines a localized packing construction with a Fano–Le Cam testing argument, using second-order expansions of the conditional copula likelihood to control …

The Α-Test: A New Statistical Test For The Selection Of Reliable Principal Components, Seongjai Kim

Probability & Statistics Seminar

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a statistical technique for the dimensionality reduction of data, minimizing information loss and increasing interpretability. It does so by first extracting new uncorrelated variables which successively maximize variance in the remaining data spaces and then cutting off principal components (PCs) corresponding to small singular values.

However, for various applications, certain PCs must be eliminated to enhance the stability and reliability, although the corresponding singular values are not small. This article introduces an innovative statistical criterion for the selection of reliable PCs, called the α-Test.

The proposed test is analyzed, and effective computational algorithms are discussed …

More Than Any Thing Or Any One, Baylie E. Rice

Landshark Literary Review

These sister poems "more than any thing" and "more than any one" were written as an exploration of how we tend to romanticize people we are involved with romantically. After they break our hearts or hurt us in some way, we begin to see them as they truly are, for better or worse. "more than any thing" is the process of viewing someone through rose colored glasses, while "more than any one" is looking back on the relationship and wishing you had spent more time learning to love yourself.
